On Friday, Nashville-based artist Katie Pruitt released a new song called “Out Of The Blue.” The single is the second from Pruitt’s forthcoming debut record, Expectations, which is out on February 21 via Rounder Records.

Featuring dreamy guitars, a tight rhythm section, a moving vocal performance and just a pinch of organ to spice it up, “Out Of The Blue” is a prime example of the exciting sound coming out of Music City. The blend of genres and glossy spin on a homegrown sound makes the song sound like a dream that is oxymoronically planted firmly on the ground. When listening to Pruitt, one can just as easily imagine floating in a cloud as they could bobbing their head in a sweaty Nashville basement.
When discussing the song’s meaning, Pruitt said “This song is about being swept up in the initial high of infatuation, when you can’t imagine wanting to leave each other’s side. In the beginning where the feeling is new and you spend your days holding hands in the park, laying in the grass, watching the clouds move against a bright blue backdrop. Time quickly turns lovers into strangers though, just like it turns days into nights. The sun rises and sets on this type of infatuation, often in the same day.”
In addition to the single, Pruitt also unveiled plans for a large 2020 tour that’ll feature a series of dates with the Wood Brothers.
Nashville has long been a major hub of the music industry, and the past few years have seen many exciting innovations and progressions of its musical ethos. Pruitt is a part of the crew that is adding a new sound into the legendary city’s gumbo, and it tastes (err… sounds) better than ever.
